How do I bold my at links in the footer?

[schoolboy]

I really don't know if this will help, but in the PURE_BLACK template produced by a group called zen-cart-power, they have a template file called tpl_top_nav.php that uses a BG image to indicate an AT page.

So, in their standard header menu, there are links such as "New Products" and the link has a hover background (controlled in the stylesheets)... and when you select the link, the BG image remains "on"... if you see what I mean

Anyway... here's an example of the PHP they use to create that effect..

<div id="top_nav">
<div id="tab_nav">
<!--<div class="top-nav-left"></div>-->
<div class="top-nav-right"></div>
    <ul class="list-style-none">
        <li class="home-link"><a href="<?php echo '' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG;?>"><!--img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="14" alt=""--></a></li>

<?php
if ($current_page_base == 'products_new') {    $active    = 'tab_active'; 
    } else { $active = '';
}?>
        <li id="<?php echo $active;?>"><a href="index.php?main_page=products_new"><?php echo TOP_MENU_NEW_PRODUCTS;?></a></li>

<?php
if ($current_page_base == 'specials') { $active = 'tab_active'; 
    } else { $active = '';
}?>
        <li id="<?php echo $active;?>"><a href="index.php?main_page=specials"><?php echo TOP_MENU_SPECIALS;?></a></li>

<?php
if ($current_page_base == 'account' || $current_page_base == 'login' || $current_page_base == 'account_edit' || $current_page_base == 'address_book' || $current_page_base == 'account_password' || $current_page_base == 'account_newsletters' || $current_page_base == 'account_notifications') { $active = 'tab_active'; 
    } else { $active = '';
}?>
        <li id="<?php echo $active;?>"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo TOP_MENU_MY_ACCOUNT;?></a></li>

<?php
if ($current_page_base == 'shopping_cart') { $active = 'tab_active'; 
    } else { $active = '';
}?>
        <li id="<?php echo $active;?>"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo TOP_MENU_VIEW_CART;?></a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Thank both of you for the help, still no solution, I'm currently working (and having a helluva time) on descendant, child, adjacent selectors, using every possible combination. I can bold them all this way but not just one (problem with adjacent). I'll post final solution, if you have any more suggestions I'll check them out.

Say you want to bold only the third link.

#navSupp ul li a {font-weight: normal;} 
#navSupp ul li+li+li a {font-weight: bold;} 
#navSupp ul li+li+li+li a {font-weight: normal;}

The four li rule will apply to the fourth and following items.
